Guide dogs and giving

Giving more help to the homeless
When Michael Bradley first heard about Boston Health Care for the Homeless on the radio, he used his Giving Account to make a one-time grant recommendation to the charity. But after visiting the nonprofit, where he saw the team in action and meeting the patients who benefit from their compassionate care, he deepened his commitment to the cause.
Breaking the cycle of loss
Turning the loss of a loved one into something positive was the goal when Todd and Michelle Buelow established the Matt Tunno Make a Difference Memorial Fund. In their work at the Charlotte Rescue Mission, they are fulfilling their personal mission to help others change their lives.
